"In the next few weeks, more than 100,000 high-school seniors in Florida will earn their diplomas. Among them:

Melissa Arias, a Colombian immigrant whose love of book fairs and voracious appetite for reading helped her become a success in a foreign land.
Corinthia Alford, who emerged from a life of abuse and poverty to earn a 4.4 GPA.
Kayde Shamrock, who spent much of her time as a missionary helping other kids.
Thomas Durrant, who overcame his father's suicide to become captain of his swim team and earn a partial scholarship to FSU.
And Nathan Zammit, who spent his high-school years battling a brain tumor but refused to give up on a diploma."
